#i love prehistoric animals !!

[druid-for-hire]

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

Would kill to read animal POV fiction that has the animal POV’s interaction with humans be like, semi realistic to the level of caution most predators take with large prey and/or competitors (including humans).

Like instead of the usual - “the human is such a weak, pathetic creature... so slow, no claws, blunt teeth… completely helpless without its 'Fire Sticks'. how is it the master of the earth?” type crap it’s like, the bear protagonist or whatever approaches some dude who spreads their arms and yells and the bear is like “FUUUUUUUUCK THAT THING JUST GOT HUGE. IT'S LARGE AND MAKING NOISES. HOLY FUCK.”

hc that sometimes robin gets really bored so alison entertains him by sitting him in front of the tv and turning on animal planet or the history channel or something. robin ends up sitting there watching every programme that comes on for about six hours and his next talk for pat’s club is about endangered sharks

literally every problem the ppl running Jurassic park had would have been avoided if Nigel Marven from prehistoric park had been in charge. a stellar example of what a park housing long-extinct animals SHOULD be like

I'm going to compile a bunch of news stuff on a post twice a week (I'm thinking Wednesday and Friday, or Tuesday and Saturday?) Like, so that I actually have things to post, it will probably revolve mostly around dinosaurs, but yous can also send asks and ill reply to them, please for the love of God engage, I need content, I yearn for it.

Also maybe some book stuff, movie stuff, music stuff ykykyk

SPEAR TOOTH

Water/Dark -- The Paradox Pokémon

This Pokémon resembles a sea monster of legend, said to eat ships. An old book describes it as Spear Tooth.

--

Tried my hand at designing a Paradox Pokemon! I'm fascinated by ancient animals and whales were the perfect thing to create a Paradox pokemon based on. This one is based heavily on Dorudon, hence the name. It'd be the only Scarlet pokemon smaller than its modern form, but whales have literally only gotten bigger so it works. I was going to base this on Kutchicetus but it was much harder to make it read as a Wailord relative, and I struggled even here.

I was wondering if we were going to see the letter Grimbeard left behind for Hiccup, which unfortunately disproves my theory that the Strangulator is prehistoric because he left an infant individual to guard his treasure. It's ancient, but not quite prehistoric.
